NATIONAL DRILL.
A Parade OF the Troops for the Presi'
dents Benefit.
WASHINGTON, Ma,

WASHINGTON, May 20.
The parade of the troops today for review
of the President afforded the first opportuni-
ty for seeing at once the entire body OF those
forming the encampment, was an unqualified
success. The head of the column started at
18th street promptly at II o'clock and reach
ed the grand stand erected for the President
and invited guests ten minutes later. The
stand had seats for about 800. With the
President were Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Welsh,
Mrs. Marsey, Col. and Mrs. Lamont, Gen.
Sheridan and several members of his staff in
full uniform were their escorts. Among the
guests of the drill were Gov. Lee of Virginia
and staff, Gov. McGill of Minnesota and
staff, Secretary Endlcott, Senators Sherman
and German, the Mexican and japanese min
listers and ladies', their families and liberal
sprinkling of other legation of army people.
The stand was covered with bunting and
stood beneath the shade of the lofty trees
which front on the White House grounds.
When the right of the column approached
the President stepped upon the stand in re-
spouse to the salute of the passing commands
aud removed his hat and bowed. Following
Gen. Augur and his brilliant staff attached
came the Marine band. Thousands of stran-
gers with half the population of the capital
city filled the windows and pavements along
the entire route.
The street parade was the only feature of
the drill programme carried out today.
heavy shower about z. NJ. necessitated
pcstponement of the competitive drills and
dress parade.
By invitation of the Irish American Club
the Sarsfield Guards of New Haven gave a
brief exhibition drill this evening in the open
space in front of the Arlington Hotel. Their
proficiency called forth unstinted praise.
The color line was cropped out at today's
parade. The Vicksbdrg Southerners with
their band and the Memphis Merchants Zou-

JENNIE ANDERSON.
The Outrage is Followed bv a Tragic
Sequence.
Rockville, Mo, Nav %.

ROCKVILLE, Mo, May %.
The Jennie Anderson outrage had a tragic
sequence Tuesday. John Vanderburg. the
man accused of committing the fiendish
crime, was shot to death in the court room
just at the conclusion of the preliminary ex-
animation. Last Tuesday a man called at
Anderson's residence and asked for glass
of W ater. Jennie, daughter of one of the
leading citizens of Bates county, waited upon
him. When she came near him he suddenly
seized and chloroformed her and while under
the influence she was outraged. The search
resulted in the arrest of Vanderburg. Miss
Anderson confronted the prisoner and recog-
nized him. He made poor attempt to prove
an albi. The judge had just announced that
the prisoner would be held in $4,000 bail
when shot rang out, followed by two more
in rapid succession. There was scamper
to the street, and when quiet was restored
the prisoner was dead. No one knows who
fred the shots, but as two of the Anderson
boys were in the courtroom they were put
under arrest.

A LAW SUIT
Involving Several Millions to be Com-
menced Against Jay Gould and Russell
Sage.
New YORK, Nav 25,

NEW YORK, May 25.
The Commercial Advertiser saws that a
law suit involving several millions is about to
be commenced against Jay Gould and Rus
sell Sage as trustees OF the consolidated mort
gage On the Kansas Pacific railroad, by for
eign holders of the bonds issued under the
mortgage. Certain facts eiicited during the
recent examination into the affairs Of the Pa
cific railroads by the Pacific railway commits
sion which have long been suspected by inter
ested parties but which they were unable to
prove. Now thar the very matters thev were
IN the dark about have been made clear, the
sui, SO long held in obeyance will be the re.
suit.
Shortly after the consolidation of the Kan
sas and Pacific railroads Denver Pacific
stock became worth it's face value. Had
that stock remained under the lien of consol
dated mortgage each bond issued under that
mortgage would have been worth its pro rata
share Of S3,0O0,000, more than it is. worth
today.
This sum together with the accrued inter-
est, would be about S5,000,000. 1t is to Sc
cure proportionate share of this S5. 900, 900
that the foreign bendholders propose to bring
n suit.
The total amount of the bonds issued un-
der the consolidation mortgage is about Sl5,-
600, 900, a great many of which were foated
IN Frankfort, Amsterdam, and some in Lon
don.

COLUMBIA SALMON GATHERS.
A Feud Between Those who Fish with
Nets and Those with Traps.
ASTORIA. Ore. MAY 25.

ASTORIA, Ore., May 20.
Monday night between ten and clever
o'clock three fishermen asleep in scow in
Bakers Bay, near Ilwaco, opposite Astoria
were awakened by armed masked man, who
presented revolvers at them and ordered
them to clear out which they did. The at
tacking party then set fire to the scow and a
pile driver living alongside and both were
burned to the waters edge.
The attack was made by a large number
of fishermen who had sailed up in boats.
They then compelled the three men to de-
stroy several fish traps in Bakers Bay, and
finally landed the men on Land Island. The
outrage is the result of conflict between
the men who fish for salmon at the mouth of
the Columbia with nets and seines and those
who take salmon in traps. 1t is believed
here that the fishermen will continue to make
attacks until all traps are destroyed.

OTTAWA, May %.
Sir John Macdonald is credited with saw
ing on recent occasion that Canada is des,r-
Gus of having the widest possible eXtradtion
treaty between England and the United
States and that far as he knew the respon-
sibilitv for not having such a one lay with
the United States. The premier spoke Of
the diplomatic difficulties which stood in the
way of the adoption of treaty of wider
scope but did not care to say what they were.
From another source, however, it was
learned that the trouble was due in part at
asst to the refusal of the United States to
insert clause in the treaty prepared recently
providing for the extradition of dynamiters.
1t was also intimated that back of these dip
lomatc difficulties, surrounding tide question,
political difficulties would loom up on the
horizon of American statesmen who agreed
to the insertion of such provision.
